Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Muñoz Law Group handles a range of personal injury cases, including:
- Car accidents – Texas car accident cases will be evaluated based on modified comparative negligence. This means your damage award will be reduced by the amount you were shown to be at fault for the accident unless you were more than 50% at fault, in which case you cannot obtain damages.
- Wrongful death – You can sue for wrongful death on behalf of a deceased loved one if they succumbed to their injuries. Some damages you might be able to recover include medical expenses and pain and suffering.
- Premises liability – Property owners are generally liable for unsafe conditions on their property that cause injury. There are some exceptions, such as if you should reasonably have been able to avoid the dangerous part of the premises, but in most cases, you can take legal action against negligent property maintenance.
Each personal injury case will proceed in a unique way based on the circumstances and severity of the incident. Attorney Muñoz can assess the legal implications of your injury and advise you on your next steps.

Recovering Damages in Your Case
The damage award is one of the most critical results of a personal injury case. Whether you are suing for your own injuries or on behalf of a loved one, a successful personal injury lawsuit may result in significant monetary damages to compensate for your losses. Some types of damages you may receive include:
- Economic damages – lost wages, lost earning capacity, present and future medical expenses
- Non-economic damages – pain and suffering, loss of companionship or support
Note that Texas has some damage caps in place that limit how much you may recover for certain cases. In rare cases involving gross negligent or intentional acts, the court may also order punitive damages (“exemplary” damages) meant to punish the defendant and discourage their behavior.
